the muse & the famous artworks


Marchesa Luisa Casati
by Adolph de Meyer, 1912

Marchesa Casati by Augustus John

Jack Kerouac, in his San Francisco Blues (1954), included a number of poems inspired by this painting...

Marchesa Casati
Is a living doll
Pinned on my Frisco
Skid row wall

Her eyes are vast
Her skin is shiny
Blue veins
And wild red hair
Shoulders sweet & tiny

Love her
Love her
Sings the sea
Bluely
Moaning
In the Augustus John
